Best Titanic (1997) line?

She's made of iron, Sir, I assure you she can!

I put the diamond in the coat...I PUT THE COAT ON HER

Wait to die, wait to live. Wait for an absolution that would never come

Your money can't save you any more than it can save me!

2,200 souls on board, Sir.

It will make the bergs harder to see...with no breaking water at the base

Is there anyone alive out there? Can anyone hear me?

Get back, I say, or I'll shoot you all like dogs!

Freud, who is he? Is he a passenger?

#OTD in 1912 – The Titanic stopped off at Queenstown (now Cobh), Co Cork.

The doomed ship anchored two miles off shore at Roches Point as the port could not accommodate a ship of its size. 123 mainly 3rd class passengers who had paid 15, 10 shillings for a one way trip embarked. Eight people who boarded at either Southampton or Cherbourg disembarked. Only 48 of the Queenstown passengers would survive. Those who would die included 18-year-old Mary Delia Burns from…

When I was little, I watched the Titanic movie. I got scared and cried a little because the captain passed away.

Rest in peace, Bernard Hill. 🙏

Oh captain! My captain!

At 12:05 AM--25 minutes after that bumping, grinding jar--Captain Smith ordered Chief Officer Wilde to uncover the boats ... First Officer Murdoch to muster the passengers ... Sixth Officer Moody to get out the list of boat assignments ... Fourth Officer Boxhall to wake up Second Officer Lightoller and Third Officer Pitman. The Captain himself then walked about 20 yard down the port side of the Boat Deck to the wireless shack.

Today in History: April 13, 1912 

After the Marconi wireless apparatus stopped working at 11 p.m., the ship’s wireless operators violated Marconi company rules by working on the repairs themselves. The next morning around 5 a.m. the wireless is working again. After breakfast Captain Smith conducted his daily inspection of the ship. Chief Engineer Joseph Bell informed Smith that the fire that had been raging in Boiler Room 6 since before the ship left port has finally been extinguished. However, the bulkhead had been damaged. This bulkhead’s failure on April 15 would play a key role in the ship’s demise. The Titanic continues her voyage through calm waters. 1 day remains until her foundering.
